IMPROVEMENT IN FENDERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 144,269, dated Novembcr4, 1.873 yapplication filed September 29, 1873.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GrLEs F. FILLEY, of-

St. Louis, in the county of St. Louis, Missouri, have invented certainImprovements in Foot- Rests for Stoves, of which the following is aspecification The object of my invention is to place a footrest on oneor both sides of a certain kind of stove known to the' trade as therIodd stove, said rests consisting of iron rods, hollow or solid, andextending om the front to the back plates, and being sustained inposition by a short lug or recess cast upon projections set ting outupon the edges ofthe front and back plates far enough to carry the resta sufficient distance from the side of the stove to place the foot on.

These foot-rests, and their relative position with the stove, areillustrated more in detail in the perspective view, Figure l, of thedrawing, which represents the stove S with my improved foot-rest Oattached. l

A and B represent, respectively, the back and front plates of the stovewi th the said projections Dl and D, and having lugs or recesses b andb, east upon their respective projections D/ and D. These lugs, whenlugs and not recesses are employed, enter the hollow in the ends of thetubular rods, and hold them in position; but when solid rods are used,recesses instead of lugs are cast, and the ends of the solid rods enterthem instead of being entered by the lugs, as in the previous case.

Fig. 2 represents the back plate A as de tached from the rest of thestove, andhaving the projections Dl` and E with their respective lugs orrecesses b and bf.

Fig.`3 represents, in perspective, a tubular foot-rest, C, which is alsodetached, the solid rest, as well as the recesses, not being shown inthe drawing. I did not deem it necessary to show them by separatedrawings, as it is simply asolid rod entering a recess sufleiently deepto hold the rod in its place. I therefore use the same letter todesignate both ing and recess.

Fig. 4 represents` in perspective the said projection D and lug orrecess b as itbroken olf from the back plate A. f

When the stove is mounted the foot-rests are placed in position, and arethere held by the lugs or recesses, the stove-rods holding the front andback plates rmly against the ends of the iron shell which forms theouteicasing of the stove.

I claim- The combination of front and back plates A and B, brackets orprojections D D', and footrest C, substantially as and for the purposeset forth.
